This lesson is designed as a final project for a force and motion unit. Lesson requires the roller coaster stem kits in order to complete. Students will be asked to build different roller coasters to

Students will be creating an obstacle course and utilizing edison robots and edScratch to program robots to go through the course. Materials: Edison Robots and anything needed to create the obstacle

Context: This lesson takes place in a classroom or outdoors for several 60 minute periods Students may work in small groups of 2-4. An emphasis on how force and motion move objects Encourage students

List of Materials- Science Notebook, Pencil/Pen, Reflection Questions Summary- Students are reflection and revising their egg drop protectors from the previous lesson. Agenda- Reflect on the first egg

Students will use materials found in a trash can to engineer a contraption that will help them retrieve their items from a storm drain.

Students will use engineering practices to build a bridge to see how much weight their bridge will support. Students will use engineering practices Context: This lesson takes place with more that one

Let's Fly is a great lesson for those teaching forces and motion. Find some balsa wood flyers through a STEAM source, take your students outside to play and let them observe. Then bring them back

How to use everyday materials to make a car go. Toliet paper roll, tape, water bottle, balloon and straw.

Summary- Students will redesign their egg protector for trial 2, record their observations, and respond to overall reflection questions for the project. Materials- Science Notebook Pencil/Pen

In this lesson, students will learn about air resistance, friction, and Newton's Second Law of Motion. They will then collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to complete an

This STEM activity is designed to explore force, motion, friction, and speed with a student-friendly and engaging activity. Students will plan and create a marble maze using simple materials. Material

This lesson plan is the nitty-gritty principles of roller coaster. It can be taught and used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. The first part of the lesson is the discussion of the principles

This lesson teaches students how to get their drone into the air. It covers hovering, yaw, roll, and pitch. Before the students launch their drones there is a discussion about preparing the drones for

Summary Students engineer their own rocket, use the engineering process to make improvements, and chart and analyze their results. Includes content from Science (physics), Technology (rocketry)

Supplies cotton balls paper for wings markers poster board feather sandbag heavy and light things edison robots rulers measuring tape Agenda Play clips of races Discuss why some cars are faster Have

This is the first of four lessons that help the students to understand the forces that are acting upon a drone when it is flying. The students will learn about how thrust, weight, lift and drag work

This lesson has an emphasis on explaining what is force. It also has an emphasis on explaining how you can see and measure force. For this lesson you need several empty plastic bottles, rubber bands

This lesson takes place in a classroom for one or more hours. Students are put in small groups of 2 to 4 people. Target: Is to make a kite that can fly with all the necessary parts. Creative solutions

This lesson asks students to explain how a marble exiting a spiral marble tower will move - straight or in a curve. Many students will think the marble continues to curve. Through modeling

Overview of the challenge: To design a safety device (car/seatbelt) that can keep an egg (passenger) safe during a collision. The goal is to protect the egg from cracking during a roll down the ramp

This lesson introduces a protractor and teaches students how to name, measure, and draw angles. Students will also build model catapults to apply their understanding of the tool.
